Who gets to define "decadent"? Who defines "moral"? Note, I'm definitely NOT an anarchist, and I do in fact agree with you FM in that 35k is ridiculous and could be used for any number of "better" causes/things. But that's simply our perspective, and the second sentence of your last post sums it up nicely.
We're also treading into politics...let's try and avoid this please guys!
On another note:
The Studio led by the scheming fraudster CR whose sole aim is to steal our money...by spending it on game development...has released another detailed progress report for October :awe:
It's the most elaborate scam/ponzi scheme ever. See, what they do is, they take in all this money and promise a game. Then, they use said money to stand up a studio in the appearance that they're actually making the game. While they do this, they take in more money and use that to start making the game and giving it to backers, showing progress the whole way. Here's the kicker, they keep making the game to keep up appearances and will give the game to backers to keep them off their back.
I mean, if they're not careful, this scam might actually produce a game.
In other news, new UI video is up! It's gorgeous! It captures everything I love about Rogue System with the high tech flair appropriate for SC's universe. BTW, I'm pretty stoked the Avenger is getting a 2D radar like the Tali and Merlin. That's my preference.

Sorry to ask this if it's been recently answered, but is there a sort of summary of what's happened regarding this game's features and development? Also, how big of an advantage will pre-order people have when the persistent universe is rolled out?
Thanks very much for any info!
Hmm, one big development summary... I thought someone had put something on Reddit recently but I can't find it at the moment. Any specific questions about it?
Regarding to the advantage, it's hard to say. No ship is the best at all things. In fact, most are either not the best at anything, but pretty good at a lot of things. Some are the best at something, but terrible outside their primary mission. Larger ships have more operating costs and/or require more people/NPCs to run efficiently.
Plus, the universe will be full of millions of NPCs, so players won't really be your biggest worry in the verse. The bigger and more powerful your ship, the potentially sweeter target you are. Most in the everyday Aurora will get passed up as not worth the time. So, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have my ships because I like them and wanted to support the project, not because I felt like it gives an advantage. Everyone can acquire every ship through legitimate and illegitimate means. It's up to you.
